Imithi yesundu iyashukuma emoyeni opholileyo wolwandle. Intlabathi emhlophe namanzi aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka akhazimla ngendlela ekhangayo phantsi kwelanga laseTropiki. Iinqanawa zemveli zihamba kancinci zidlula, ziqhutywa ziiseyile ezimhlophe ezibhabhayo, ngelixa abalobi baseSwahili bephosa iminatha yabo phantsi kwelanga elibomvu eliqaqambileyo.
ISaadani yindawo apho ulwandle ludibana khona nehlathi. Indawo yokugcina izilwanyana zasendle eMpuma Afrika enokuqhayisa ngolwandle lwaseIndiya, inazo zonke iimpawu ezenza unxweme lwaseTanzania kunye neziqithi ezishushu zithandwe kakhulu ngabantu baseYurophu abanqula ilanga. Kodwa ikwayindawo apho ezo yure zokuzila ilanga zinokuphazanyiswa yindlovu ehambahambayo, okanye ingonyama eza kusela emanzini akufutshane!
Ikhuselwe njengendawo yokugcina izilwanyana zasendle ukususela ngeminyaka yoo-1960, iSaadani yafakwa kwi-gazet njengepaki yesizwe ngo-2002, xa yandiswa ukuze igubungele kabini indawo yayo yangaphambili. Le ndawo yokugcina izilwanyana yachaphazeleka kakhulu kukuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni ngaphambi kweminyaka yoo-1990, kodwa kwiminyaka yakutshanje ibone utshintsho olukhulu, ngenxa yokunyanzeliswa okuhlangeneyo kwabazingeli abazingeli, ngokusekelwe ekuhlanganiseni iilali ezikufutshane kwiphulo lokulondoloza.
